Furniture Library Editor released

[kilill]

Importing a furniture on a 4k screen will create an incorrect icon,
seems the icon picture/screenshot is taken from a region above left of the library editor window, same happens if moving the icon the editor.
This does not happen on a non 4k screen

After I tried using this tool, I re-imported a couple of the edited furniture libraries. SH replaced the deleted items with a big red X and then crashed. It will no longer open. I've uninstalled, reinstalled the latest version, installed version 6, and still nothing. Using on Windows 10. Is there some glitch I'm missing? Do ".JAR" files open with Sweet Home or with Java as a default? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Suggestions?

Edit to previous post. Here's the error log I get:

You shouldn’t edit the libraries stored in private folders of Sweet Home 3D while you use Sweet Home 3D itself. I wonder if it was your case.

[madame_draco]

It wasn't but that's okay for now. I had to set my computer back to factory in order to reinstall SH3D and have it work. Going to be far more careful from here on out.

Awesome, tool.

I would be forever greatful if you would add a direct or batch import from a website like 3dwarehouse.

It would be so nice to not have to download each model, unzip it, and import it individually.

When building a custom model library you may need hundreds of models and cutting all these steps out of the process would make it so much easier.

I was thinking maybe a search box, and the results have a thumbnail with hover to expand, a short description, and a checkbox to mark items you want to import.

This would speed up library creation greatly, and I believe would be well worth the effort.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Some time ago, I asked in SketchUp forum whether there was a way to explore and download the 3D models they propose on 3D Warehouse from a program, but I never got an answer [:(]
Nevertheless, I tried on my side and found how to do it. But now, Trimble permits to download 3D models only by registered users, probably meaning that they want to limit this traffic.
Maybe waking up the subject I started in SketchUp to get an official answer could help to get an official answer.

@Puybaret,
Indeed, I use Sketchup in parallel with SH3D to create the furniture I need, and to connect to the 3D Warehouse / Trimble you must be registered...

Thank you very much for the great tool, but may I as to add a preview section when selecting any obj. instead of hovering the mouse over the image to show and also will be useful to preview items when scrolling with keyboard arrows.

Thanks in advance

Interesting feature for those who use the latest version with the added description field: You can use html tags in the description!

This allows to make a part of the description bold or cursive with the b and i tags or add a line break (br). I use it to add the library name in bold followed by a line-break if there is more description info.
